Starting the License Server

There are no modifications required to the license server startup procedure.

When the license server is running, the process list will show multiple vendor daemon processes, all started by the single lmgrd process. For example, including four vendor daemon (demo) lines in counted.lic and starting the lmgrd server with this license file will result in four vendor daemon processes (demo) being spawned:

$ ps -ef | grep lmgrd

1 S user_name 24339 1 0 80 0 - 1079374 poll_s 11:50 pts/16 00:00:00 ./lmgrd -c c24dem.lic -lc24dem.log

0 S user_name 24341 24339 0 80 0 - 1121103 hrtime 11:50 ? 00:00:00 demo -T machine_name

0 S user_name 24342 24339 0 80 0 - 1121104 hrtime 11:50 ? 00:00:00 demo -T machine_name

0 S user_name 24343 24339 0 80 0 - 1121107 hrtime 11:50 ? 00:00:00 demo -T machine_name

0 S user_name 24344 24339 0 80 0 - 1119055 hrtime 11:50 ? 00:00:00 demo -T machine_name

Note:Both lmgrd and all vendor daemons write to the same server log file. For example, the c24dem.log as mentioned above. To establish a clear distinction between the lines in the log file written by different vendor daemons, the publisher name field has been augmented with the Vendor Daemon’s process id. For example, a vendor daemon line:

12:05:51 (demo) Server started on machine_name for: f1

now appears as:

12:05:51 (demo[24341]) Server started on machine_name for: f1
